Privacy Policy for Random User Generator
Introduction
Welcome to Random User Generator, a free API service that provides realistic, fictional user data for development, testing, and prototyping purposes. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information when you use our service.
Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Data We Do Not Collect
Random User Generator is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or process any of the following:
- Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personal identifiers from our users
- Usage Data: We do not track how you use the API, which endpoints you call, or how frequently you make requests
- Device Information: We do not collect information about your device, browser, or IP address
- Cookies: We do not use cookies or any tracking technologies
- Account Information: No registration or account creation is required to use our service
Data We Generate
Our API generates completely fictional user data including:
- Personal Details: Fictional names, genders, dates of birth
- Contact Information: Fake email addresses, phone numbers, cell numbers
- Location Data: Random addresses, cities, states, countries, postal codes
- Login Credentials: Fictional usernames, passwords, UUIDs
- Identification: Fake ID numbers and identification documents
- Media: Random profile pictures from stock photo services
Important: All generated data is entirely fictional and does not correspond to real individuals. The data is algorithmically created to be realistic for testing purposes only.
API Usage and Logs
We maintain minimal server logs for operational purposes only:
- Request Volume: Total number of API requests for performance monitoring
- Error Rates: Frequency of errors to maintain service quality
- System Performance: Server response times and availability metrics
- Security Events: Suspicious activity patterns for security protection
These logs are automatically deleted after 30 days and do not contain any personal information.
Data Security
- No Personal Data Storage: Since we don't collect personal information, there's no personal data to secure
- Server Security: Our infrastructure uses industry-standard security practices
- Data Generation: All user data is generated on-demand and not stored
- API Security: We use HTTPS encryption for all API communications
Third-Party Services
Our service may use:
- Stock Photo APIs: For generating random profile pictures (e.g., randomuser.me)
- Infrastructure Providers: Cloud hosting services for API deployment
These third parties are bound by their own privacy policies and security practices.
Children's Privacy
Our service does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The generated data is fictional and suitable for users of all ages.
International Data Transfers
Our service may be accessed globally. Generated data is processed on servers that may be located in different countries, but since all data is fictional, this does not impact privacy rights.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as needed. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page.
